Elcapitalfinanciero.com reviews that “… The confinement can make many clients rethink the qualities of the house they wish to acquire in order to live and change their tastes for homes with more light, more surface area and implement home automation technology to facilitate their domestic activities.”

Studies by CentralAmericaData indicate that at the end of the first semester of 2020 in Central America, close to 4 million people were looking to buy or rent a residential property through the Internet, and 18% of these consumers were exploring options to buy an individual home.
